Welcome back to planDisney, Diane! I'm so glad that you decided to visit us before your upcoming vacation on Disney Cruise Line.
During your online check-in, you selected a
Port Arrival Time. This is the time that you can arrive at the cruise terminal. This does not mean you will embark the ship at this time. Once you check in at the terminal, you will be given a boarding group number that you will need to listen out for in the terminal to determine when you can embark. You cannot arrive at the terminal before your port arrival time, nor can you board the ship before your boarding group number is called.
Personally, I would not book a
beverage tasting that close to my Port Arrival Time, but I like to have some lunch in the buffet or the specified
rotational dining restaurant after embarking. Also, I would want to make sure that I won't miss the tasting because the champagne one is a favorite of mine!
I hope this helps as you get ready to sail away on Disney Cruise Line, Diane! If you have any other questions, come back to visit us at
planDisney.
Cheers!
